I have a stainless 5.56 barrel on which I installed a 1/2x28 to 5/8x24 thread adapter. If memory serves me, Rocksett was used. A QD suppressor mount was then installed on the adapter also with Rocksett.
I want to remove the QD mount and adapter.
The suppressor mount came off, no problem but the thread adapter refuses to budge. We've tried heating it with a propane torch, using a reaction rod, you name it. My gunsmith does not want to over-leverage the wrench for fear the barrel may be ruined. He said the only option at this point is to place the barrel on the lathe and trim the adapter off.
At some point I have to weigh the cost of lathe time versus just replacing the barrel.
Any suggestions from THR?
Thanks
